The day after I see Thrive, I see this episode of the Sopranos, s2e9 From where to Eternity. In the episode the character Christopher also has a near death experience, he goes to hell, sees his father and is told by the "bouncer" this is where he will come when it's his time as well.

Tony Soprano: "Excuse me, let me tell you something, when America opened the floodgates and let all us Italians in. What do you think they were doing it for, cause they were trying to save us from poverty?! No, they did it because they needed us, they needed us to build their cities, their subways, and to make 'em richer. The Carnegies and the Rockefellers they needed worker bees and there we were. But some of us didn't wanna swarm around their hive and lose who we were, we wanted to stay Italian and preserve the things that meant something to us. Honor, and family, and loyalty. And some of us wanted a piece of the action, now we weren't educated like the Americans but we had the balls to take what we wanted. And those other fucks, those other, the the the JP Morgans, they were crooks and killers too but that was a business right, the American Way."

Dr. Jennifer Melfi : "That might all be true. But what do poor Italian immigrants have to do with you, and what happens every morning you step out of bed?"

THRIVE is an unconventional documentary that lifts the veil on what's REALLY going on in our world by following the money upstream -- uncovering the global consolidation of power in nearly every aspect of our lives. Weaving together breakthroughs in science, consciousness and activism, THRIVE offers real solutions, empowering us with unprecedented and bold strategies for reclaiming our lives and our future.

I got an e-mail by these sad people asking me to put adds on my site, embedding them into posts in a related manner. Kind of suspicious just before the SOPA storm isn't it. How the hell I would be embedding an add for some shit company in two posts they suggested, one about Synchromysticism in the Clone Wars cartoon, and one on books from John Lilly, I cannot fathom. I told these people to stop being lackeys for leeches, and I spit on amplifiedmedia.org

This reminds me of Robert Anton Wilson saying "I am in pain, I need medicine...The federal government has no right to condemn me to a life of constant pain. I don't know what kind of a sadistic son of a bitch George Bush is, why he wants to leave people in pain like this. If you're gonna be in pain most of the day, you're not gonna enjoy your life much..." for not legalizing medical marijuana as a treatment for post-polio syndrome. Just cause I can, here's some videos of my hero. The clips are from Maybe Logic.

I love this song so much I had to translate this from flemish, I even tried to have around the same amount of syllables so you can try to sing along! Go on give it a go, your language-centers in your mind will love it.

For over a decade, we have spent millions of hours building the largest encyclopedia in human history. Right now, the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that could fatally damage the free and open Internet. For 24 hours, to raise awareness, we are blacking out Wikipedia.

I have to admit I am very worried about this legislation, cause US politicians are, like any other politicians, idiots that don't even read the bills they vote for, nor would most of these have a clue what these two bills entail even if they did read it...

Panic broke out amongst passengers and crew alike. The crew first delayed passengers wanting to lower the lifeboats by 45 minutes. Fights broke out. "Women and children first" was ignored. The captain was among the first to flee and was seen drinking alcohol before he had to take over his shift.

Men refused to let women and children go in front, even pregnant women. Most of the crew did nothing to help the evacuation proceed orderly. Sandra Rogers, 62 said "It was disgusting. Big, strong men of the crew just shoved us aside on way to the life floats. Everyone lost eachother. I myself lost sight of my daughter and granddaughters, twins of seven years old. There was a total lack of organisation. Even those who managed to reach the boats wasn't safe. Grown men jumped simultaniously in the boats. I was terrified we would capsize.

Isabelle Mougin from France (38) who was five months pregnant, begged the captain to leave the cruise ship, she was not allowed. "Nobody could leave the ship, the crew just left us. I thought we were all going to die. And the captain just left, I still can't believe he just abandoned ship."

The captain was arrested.

This is why I don't go out much... I don't like to be surrounded by humans, they're a very dangerous species of animal.

In Syria over 100.000 protestors have died at the hands of government goons trying to free their country from opression, the cowardly West isn't doing anything, Russia and China have vetoed intervention. And the media is very careful in what it says trying to not piss off the Syrian gov too much. Unbelievable, to think that what these people are fighting so hard for is sham democracies like we have in the west, at least better than dictatorships, but so tragic. I hope the Syrian people succeed in giving Asad the same reward as Khadafi got in Libia. Good luck and be strong Syrian people.
